Epigenetics: How our experiences affect our offspring - The Week

This is a BBC show (also on NOVA/PBS, I believe), "The Ghost in Your Genes", that you may find interesting. It's 49min long.
The Ghost In Your Genes - BBC documentary - YouTube

In the show it discusses how the offspring, sometimes multiple generations-on can show the effects of the experiences of their ancestors.

This is truly society changing stuff! The implications are astounding. Watching the BBC doc seemed to focus on how negative situations such as famine and stress can changed the genetics and actually allow those changes to be passed on but my quations is this....what of positive experiences and high nutritian and health? Can we change not only our selves but influence the chances of our grandchildren to be born with some positive attributes? I don't wanna go to the next step...I don't have to. Its right there...
